[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that the bar is set remarkably low on the language acquisition front in DC public schools, other than where a handful of Spanish immersion elementary schools and the advanced DCI Spanish track are concerned. BASIS franchise leaders and DC admins don’t care if students achieve in language learning past the AP level. If you care as a family, you’re setting yourself up for a good deal of frustration if you enroll so, yea, best to make a different plan for MS and HS. In our experience, there’s no point in advocating for language instruction at BASIS before 8th grade, or anything more than beginning instruction from 8th grade. Arizona HQ has never been on board with more serious language instruction, meaning that the concept is a non-starter. No more to be said.[/quote] This. Advocating for change at BASIS, however reasonable and in line with academic excellence, is pointless. No brainer.[/quote]
